"She was not one thing or the other—
but the lapis in the hills,
and the dark between the stars.”
STRUCTURE
Shell: A composition of deep indigo damask paired with lightweight vintage silk habotai; chosen for the way they hold shadow differently.
Lining: Rich chocolate cupro with a heavy, silk-like drape and a cool touch, selected for its comfort and the way the dark warmth contrasts the cold exterior.
Detailing: Frayed silk bows, placed to give a sense of layered decay; antique-style trim, hand sewn on every edge.
Neckpiece: Matching choker featuring a substantial drop of real lapis lazuli, mirroring the corset's mineral depth.
Internal: 17-panel construction reinforced with synthetic whalebone. The high panel count allows for a more complex, nuanced transition around the body, focusing on presence over pressure.
Lacing: Rear-adjusting entry through tarnished eyelets with a weight of ribbon that feels certain and substantial.
SIZE
This piece is most at home on bodies sized S.
